It's always a matter of how much electricity and how efficient is it.
10 kWh per day from a washing machine sized cube is nothing to sneeze at. Whether the humidity to keep it powered consistently is achievable and the maintenance to keep it running is sensible and the cost of building up enough of this stuff to output that level of energy can be commercially viable - that's the big question.
This gave me a chuckle. 10 kilojoules per second for an hour per day.
They have said it wrong, its more like 42 000 miliWat minutes 4 times a day
